Elysian, Mirror of the Dead is a magical mirror Artifact of Ordial origins, though one would never be able to tell, as the mirror appears merely like a slab of Zinc with one side polished to such an extent it forms a reflective surface, lacking any black and green colorations. The Artifact has Isldar origins, once being heralded as a piece of mental solace over the loss of loved ones, but later discovered to be an immensely powerful magical Artifact that amplifies the casting abilities of its owner.

===Abilities===
Elysian is an Ordial Artifact. As Elysian is an artifact, there are several rules associated with Artifact Ownership, see [[Artifacts]] Page. Elysian also provides the following Specials:
Elysian is a Tier III Legendary Artifact, meaning it is one of the greatest Artifacts in the world.
* '''Elysian Lifedrain:''' Elysian's wielder may manifest Undead/Ordial/Glacial/Ice/Mirror aesthetics and Mutations while owning the Artifact. Additionally, the user can curse a person in Emote Range with a very visually telegraphed Curse to make them appear as if they are Undead. They do not actually become Undead, but are visually recognized as one, until they can be Cleansed or Exorcised with some Ability or Mechanic.  
{| class="wikitable"
* '''Elysian Herald:''' Elysian's wielder is considered the owner of a powerful and important Ordial artifact, particularly that of the Glacial. The user of Elysian is positively received by the Bene Rexit Isldar, and while hated by the Bene Vixit, is immune to their attempt of sabotage and attacks while in Ellador on Progressions. Elysian also allows them to style any Ability with Ice or Death aesthetics.  
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center; background-color:#c0c0c0;"
* '''Elysian Frosthome:''' Elysian's wielder is able to summon the Shade of a dead Player Character and force them to haunt a Target person. This Shade does not have any memories, but will still act within their personality and relationships, while also being malign and tormenting or acting like a poltergeist to their Target. This Shade cannot be attacked, and can only be dispelled by Life Isldar cleansing them.

This Ability (while sufficient Charges remain) causes Elysian to absorb any incoming Spell Point Buy Pack Abilities used on the wielder, and nullify them completely, regardless of what Dimension they belong to. Spell Point Buy Abilities used on an area of effect or groups that include the wielder also do not affect them.

So long as one or more Charges remain, the user is able to instantly convert all remaining Charges to unlock Magic Artillery. Magic Artillery lights up Elysian with a sickly green glow, and allows the user to fire Magic Artillery Shots equivalent to the amount of remaining Ordial Power Charges. Each Magic Artillery Shot is an immensely powerful Magical blast that can do one of two things: Brittle an Armor on a target, or paralyze a chosen limb on a Target for 10 minutes.

While kneeling, a magical solid Barrier projects around them that only has enough space for them and their artifactm. This Barrier protects them from any harm, but not from Powers that can break barriers. While in this stance, the user is healed fully, regardless of even dismemberment, but is immobile for 3 minutes. If the barrier is somehow broken, the healing effect is Canceled, and any healing done is reverted, while this Ability is put on a 1 hour cooldown. If the healing completes, it is also put on a 1 hour cooldown. Even though the wielder of Elysian is immune to Exist-based Powers, the barrier is not. If an Exist Power dictates a barrier breaking or being pass-through, it applies to the barrier, even if the wielder is immune. This barrier of this Ability can only be broken once per fight, meaning it can only be countered once per combat scene.

* '''Artifact Mindwall:''' The Artifact protects the wielder's mind from foreign influences. While carrying or wielding the Artifact, the user is immune to Control Powers or any other Ability or Mechanic that affects the mind of the user, changed it, or subjects them to any form of foreign control or puppeteering.
* '''Artifact Durability:''' Artifacts are immune to Physical or Magical damage, meaning the item can never be destroyed, degraded, aged, de-aged, corroded, corrupted, or damaged and blunted. Greater entities such as deities however can damage Artifacts. Additionally, the user is also immune to any Abilities or Mechanics that would disarm them of their artifact.
* '''Artifact Housebound:''' Artifacts have special rules applied to them when a Noble Family has possession of the Artifact. Their Noble Estate becomes a valid Raid-target pursuant the same rules applying to the Aelrrigan Magivault, and a Raid can be initiated against their estate with the intention of stealing the Artifact. Servants owning Artifacts counts as family ownership.
* '''Elysian’s Reputation:''' Elysian is one of the most powerful Ordial Artifacts. Anyone who is the wielder of Elysian unlocks more favorable responses and potential responses that would not normally be available from Ordial Worshipers, especially those who favor the Glacial.
* '''Elysian Mageheart:''' Elysian empowers the wielder, but only those who have 5 Proficiency Points invested in Spell Point Buy at least. While Elysian can be used by non-Mages also, for those with at least 5 Spell Point Buy, Elysian grants +2 Magic Proficiency that can break the Proficiency Limit, and allows the wielder to choose 2 new Point Buy Packs, that they will have access to until they lose Elysian, and thus the Bonus.
* '''Elysian’s Surface:''' Elysian, when looked at by anyone, will never return their own reflection, but the perfect reflection of loved ones, friends, and enemies they have lost, from what they looked like shortly before or during their demise in the mirror.
* '''Elysian's Shape:''' Elysian can impart visual changes to the user, either while using its abilities, while just wielding it, or passively. Such aesthetics are including but not limited to: ghosts, ghostly aesthetics, sickly green glows, reflective surfaces and zinc-like textures and metals. For more, inquire with Lore Staff.
==Lingering Curse of Elysian==
Tier III Artifacts have lingering effects on their hosts, if the hosts have been identified by Lore Staff as "Honorable Users", a definition somewhere between properly using the Artifact beyond self-gain and for community betterment, and also not powergaming with it. A Lingering Curse or Blessing will remain with the host until they retake the Artifact, after which all effects are immediately removed. The following effects are given to the host:
===Specials===
* '''Artifact Hunger:''' This Artifact has thoroughly manifested in the person's mind that they have a permanent tracking Ability on the current owner of the Artifact. Wherever this new owner is, this person can track them down and know where they are even if they use a disguise or shapeshift. This effect is Canceled if the new owner of the Artifact is also an Honorable User, in which case they cannot track the Artifact owner.
* '''Artifact Heritage:''' This user has a lingering power that once belonged to the Artifact, but that they can now use independently of the Artifact. When they re-take the Artifact, this does not stack as all lingering Curse effects are removed when they retake the Artifact. The specific Ability of Elysian that is given by the Lingering Curse is Magic Multicast.
* '''Artifact Memory:''' This user no longer owns the Artifact, but are still recognized as an Honorable user of the Artifact and worthy of its legacy. For this Artifact, it means the now ex-owner still has lingering favor from Glacial Worshipers and Bene-Rexit in Progressions and the wider world.

Name Elysian, Mirror of the Dead
Origin Isldar, likely Glacial
Tier Legendary Tier III
Type Weapon

Elysian, Mirror of the Dead is a magical mirror Artifact of Ordial origins, though one would never be able to tell, as the mirror appears merely like a slab of Zinc with one side polished to such an extent it forms a reflective surface, lacking any black and green colorations. The Artifact has Isldar origins, once being heralded as a piece of mental solace over the loss of loved ones, but later discovered to be an immensely powerful magical Artifact that amplifies the casting abilities of its owner.

Origins

Where Elysian exactly comes from is not known, however it was first mentioned by Isldar migrants as early as 100 AC, as a mirror adorning the central monolith in one of the Shiva Cavern temples. Supposedly, the mirror was the focus point of a pilgrimage site where the faithful could lay their eyes on their loved ones who had gone before, as the mirror would always reflect the dead back at them, never their own reflection. The Mirror however was taken during the Isldar civil war recently, when it was discovered that the mirror held extreme Magical power, and could potentially change the course of the war. It never did however, as one of the Arken took it from its owner, when it eventually disappeared from the public eye.

Appearance

Elysian is a normal-sized mirror, consisting of a two inch thick solid slab of Zinc, the back of which is rough and textured, and the front of which is sanded down and polished to form a reflective surface. The Elysian always prevents touching other surfaces, it always floats gently around or next to the wielder, but can also be summoned and unsummoned from their wrist, when the mirror shrinks and forms a reflective bracer on their arm. Should the Artifact be used however, it immediately ejects from their arm and levitates around them to dispense its Ordial Magic.

Artifact Custom Kit
